YouTube Subscription Fee

It's Official: You Now Have To Pay For YouTube

We are proud of this video, but would you pay to see it on YouTube? You may have to answer that soon!

YouTube just announced that it will charge a subscription fee for some channels, starting Thursday afternoon.

The fees range from 99 cents to $7.99 a month. According to The New York Times, YouTube announced 30 paid subscription channels, including Sesame Workshop, UFC, The Young Turks, National Geographic and Magnolia Pictures. So not the best news for MMA fans and parents. We're not sure that little Johnny will understand that he can no longer watch Elmo because Daddy can't shell out a few bucks. But, you know, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
